About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazCoonawarra, AustraliaCoonawarra blockbuster, the Katnook Prodigy Shiraz is a wonderful example of supreme Coonawarra Shiraz. Known to cellar for a remarkable amount of time, this 2006 was borne out of classic Coonawarra vintage that bestowed the perfect growing conditions on Katnook's vineyards. Showing a savoury spice and dark berry fruits with a hint of white pepper, the Prodigy is starting to shed it brutish exterior to reveal an elegance and suppleness that will stay with the wine many a year to come.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Dense colour; the rich bouquet of black fruits and quality oak is replicated on the palate,which is stylish and intense, extract and alcohol perfectly balanced.

Medium red, slight purple. Earthy developed nose, savoury, mellow, lacks primary fruit. Palate taut and intense, lean and searing, with lively acid. Piercingly intense, long finish and slight hardness. Lacks a bit in freshness, but it's all about character and complexity. A very good drink.
